So is Wycliffe, Gently, Vera, Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Dalziel & Pascoe, Prime Suspect.

I have both Acorn and Britbox, and watch them all day long.

The acting and writing are superior, and the actors look normal.

Oh, and McDonald and Dodds, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates.

ETA: Morse and Lewis. Theyre on Britbox.

Who needs American TV if you have Acorn and Britbox?

I highly recommend that, too, if you like BritMys.

By the end it got a bit anachronistic. A lot of historical fiction nowadays has an 'adventures of the time traveler' air, with people, sympathetic leads, anyway, displaying modern attitudes quite at odds with the general tenor of the time they are set in.

and Acorn is also a good pick. Agree that the characters and acting are, in general, better - more enjoyable.

(for a different 'flavor' - A Place to Call Home, Brokenwood Mysteries, Mystery Road, Good Karma Hospital)

Of Midsommer Murders

And I think Brokenwood is coming back for another season!

That and "Inspector Morse" were a couple of my faves.
